Further complicated by America’s absolute disdain for just about every other trading partner worldwide. The lost relationships and distrust this administration has sown will have huge consequences to the US getting any of the critical imports they need to continue successfully. Who trusts Trump?
China plays long game , laughing at Trump , but of course Trump projecting about let , right, libs, etc is all bs. It’s just about the grift , whether that’s a meme or tanking the market , it’s irrelevant to him.
Once again, trying to close the barn door after the horses have all escaped. Too stupid to realize this was an inevitable outcome from the insane tariffs and plan for it before they blustered themselves into a corner
I don’t understand why people believe anything he says. I knew he was lying about talking with China yesterday but still the markets believed him yesterday and went up.
Today from China
Fake news’: China dismisses claims of US trade talks
Government ministries say trade negotiations not being considered after US President Donald Trump suggested the two countries have been in contact
It’s like they’re incapable of understanding the consequences of their actions if they spend their entire pampered life being shielded from the consequences of their actions. This is why rich white men aren’t the ideal leaders people think they are. They miss a lot.
I genuinely think it’s incalculable. And that is the point. Putin has really fucked us. Between kompromat & kash, Putin found his American guys to do all the work for him.
The crucial difference here is that China can buy the soy beans or beef somewhere else. And they will now but US cane get these rare earth minerals from somebody else. So pretty stupid move here
It must come as a terrible shock to a narcissist to realise countries need each other, and global leaders, whether they are liked or disliked, actually have plans of their own. 😅🤣
Again they are having high level meeting with each other. China confirmed they have had no meetings with the U.S.
Once Trump made it clear that he views who ever calls first as the loser and he is afraid of market repurcussions …all his cards were on the table. China will wait until we call.
😆 Seriously, America.. You pissed off the people your military needs to keep its planes flying and weapons platforms working. How f++king dumb are you?
If it’s advanced, strategic, or clean-tech, rare earths are in it. Without them, everything from the F-35 fighter to your phone would either be a lot dumber, heavier, or not exist at all.
Let's kind of sit back & look at how China might view this. "We've got trump by the balls on rare earths, so why should we save him & the US military/economy."
I told you 2 days ago that the Liar Racist Fascist Felon Criminal Dictator Trump lies about made a deal with China on his BS bad Tariff to try manipulating the Stock Market & DOW with lies to make it go up to no look like a failure loser like he always ends!
This explains the orange one’s fixation on Iceland and attempted theft of Ukrainian minerals. He’s been told it would come down to this but the stupid ass went all in anyway.
Quite frankly it would be strategically a GOOD THING^TM for the US to build some capability to process these metals. The US has plenty of these metals. The problem is we lack the ability to process the raw materials into refined versions with the necessary purity levels.
The bank across the street has plenty of money. It's a good thing that I have now realized this. Now I can make plans to find a way to access the cash for my future needs.
Trump's handling the trade war on again off again tariffs, his selling out Ukraine to his buddy Putin and not obeying the courts on various matters is a total s__t show. Trump makes Richard Nixon look like the best President ever.
If there's only one thing I can say about China, is that they aren't afraid to call out the Trump team lies. I delight in them making Trump look like an idiot.
They always say "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". When you need rare earth minerals from them, swallow your pride, shut your mouth, and make some good deals for everyone!
Not really. We have these metals in the United States in abundance in the 50 states. What we lack is the ability to process the raw earth to refine and purify to the necessary degree.
Of course this would be the thing that makes him cave. It’s not just Silicon Valley using these rare earth resources. The defense industry also relies heavily on them for new tech.
So now he will self destruct the American economy. Shortages in supplies are inevitable and will continue if this administration is allowed to continue to control tariffs. Congress must act to protect the American economy.
It should be painfully obvious why he was such a failed businessman. This is the way he ran his "business". Straight into the ground. This might be one reason he has such a "thing" for Russia. Putin and his oligarch pals must have bailed him out more than once. Why else would he be a Russian stooge?
Don't worry, once Trump buddy Charles Schwab and the rest of the gazillionaires are done buying the dip, Trump will declare victory over China without actually doing anything different and watch the stock market surge so he and his buddies make even more money.
Fascism is here.
It's time to be honest.
Our system has failed.
We can do better now, learning from the past.

This was actually a problem in the first term with the "shithole" comments regarding Africa and had them shift rare earth mining agreements towards China.
I thought it'd be them holding so much of our debt, but yeah that accomplishes the same thing. But without the risk of triggering a global recession/depression like dumping trillion$ in debt would likely do...

'The fart of the deal'
Turd's Guy: "Yes"
Turd: "Like ALL of it?"
Turd's Guy: "Yes, take all of the rare earth mineral there are, get rid of them-and that's how much we have sir"
Turd: "OK...then...let's start WWIII...and this time we'll be the bad guys! Bring me a diet coke"
He is shitting his pants so hard - I would love it if he backed down on tariffs and china didn't reciprocate.
China, if you're listening...
Yes. And he likely still is.

Tell them this:
1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily.
2. Visit the concentration camps in El Salvador and demand to see your constituents.

I hope they have him fly over and make HIM kiss THEIR ring while humiliating him live on TV.
Trump will no doubt negotiate a terrible deal for the USA while claiming victory

Oops.
THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT US

Trump's ‘art of the deal’ becomes laughingstock online after China tariffs climb down https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/trump-s-art-of-the-deal-becomes-laughing-stock-online-after-china-tariffs-climb-down/ar-AA1Dw36M?ocid=socialshare&pc=HCTS&cvid=9156e0a41af74ffaae3dcf2651370757&ei=9

Unlike fools like Starmer, they don’t take Sonny at his word. They want to see those sky-high tariffs gone before they even start talking.
But Little England hasn't even leverage. 😂
From what I have read, anyone trying to negotiate with the regime gets nowhere as they are all over the place and not clear.
Seems clear they have not done the prework eg SWOT analysis - america will be weaker after this, they will give away what they do not understand.
So funny that he thought he had power over Russia & China & they've both made a public spectacle of him!!
Not that he couldn't do that all by himself!! 😂🤣
OR
Our elections are not free and fair.
It's either one or the other. Take your pick.

The tariff exemption listing is basically a target list for exporting countries.
(Yes I used export tariff in example, but same idea as licensing restriction.)
"He who acts to save his country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, Project 2025, and radical right wing criminals, violates no laws.”
Is he going to listen to his advisers or Putin?
"Look at this... Jack high. I'm all in."
